Hi Wishfulgirl, If, for any reason, your submissions did not contain those 4 points, you may want to make your permission application just about the pending Akinsanya judicial review. Hope that helps. Also, you may want to show your draft letter to solicitors. It quickly gets them up to speed on yo...

Hi Wishfulgirl, You may want to consider using the template above to submit your request for permission to appeal. I would add some version of the following to the letter - On DD/MM/YYYY at [insert the hour and minute], I sent via email my appeal bundle to [insert email address]. The bundle contain...

ChatGPT - Permission to Appeal THE PROMPT Write a letter to a UK immigration judge asking for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal. I was refused settlement under the EU Settlement Scheme. The judge did not take into account a related pending judicial review that could affect my case, Akinsan...

Per your First-tier Tribunal judge: I note that I am concerned with an application made under Appendix EU of the Immigration Rules, further that the Appellant, so far as I can see has made no claim in respect of an asserted breach of the ECHR and in any event the SSHD have not considered such a cla...

My mistake, I was meant to reply to this quote earlier.

Understood.

I didn’t. I couldn’t. The forum became quiet after everyone started getting their decisions and you were the only one here keeping it alive and for that I’m grateful, because I probably would’ve gave up along time ago. I have a theory as to why it became quiet. Once the refusals starting coming out...

Systemic / Institutionalised .... The Home Office refuses approximately 90% of Zambrano applicants to the EUSS. Lawyers refuse to represent Zambrano carers on their appeals. First-tier Tribunal judges create straw men arguments, replacing the actual submissions with their own, far weaker submission...

If only it was as easy as this, I gotta pay £100 first before they'll give a listening ear and after which, there’s no guarantee they’ll help me. I feel a lot hear the word (Zambrano) and goes oh no. I agree there is some issue against Zambrano carers. The judges may be pressuring people to go for ...

Example of what you could say to a solicitor: I submitted an EUSS appeal with 4 grounds. The FtT judge refused the appeal. I need to apply for permission to appeal by DD/MM. My reasons are because - The judge did not address 2 of my grounds at all, and - He addressed the other 2 grounds when he sho...

What is the section 55 and article UN stuff? I thought that was his own assumption. What he is doing, is implying your grounds revolve around 3 areas: -Appendix EU -Section 55 of the Borders Act - it is a UK bill that says public authorities need to consider the best interests of the child -Article...

Your FtT judge seems to have replaced your 4 arguments with his 3, incredibly weak arguments - and then refused you on that basis.

I thought someone from this forum told you to change your arguments. It looks like I was wrong. I need a holiday.

No one asked him to do a Section 55 assessment. He was asked to abide by the Withdrawal Agreement. The "Rules" are only lawful to the extent they uphold the terms from the Withdrawal Agreement. He made 2 errors. One, he did not address your grounds or answer the Questions. Two, he ruled o...

Yes, that's what I sent. All they had to do was address your 4 arguments. Not 30. Just 4. And, they had your claim for six months! So, all that stuff written about Section 55 and Article 3 of the UN was made up by him?? I think in the template section [C] or [D] was called "Questions for the j...

I am sooo confused. Is this really what you sent? Oh no. The judge ignored your submissions, then? Wow. Just wow. To me, that would be a clear error of law.

On Solicitors When a solicitor invites you to an introductory conference, one of the many things they may consider, is how engaged you are with your claim. For example, they are almost certainly going to send you drafts. They want to know you will read the draft and understand (to some degree) what...

In your own words, what did the Home Office do wrong with regard to your EUSS application - apart from refuse you? And which of those arguments (if any) did you make before the judge?

That is what any solicitor is going to want to know - in addition to what the judge said in response.

The judge seem to have focused the hearing solely on the Reason for the appeal... Yes, he mentioned that you had submissions but he wasn't clear about what exactly your submissions were. You also seem a bit unclear about what your submissions were. Even if you get a solicitor to talk to you, they m...

I don't think you should talk to anyone until you can articulate the grounds you submitted to the FtT - in simple, everyday language. I think you should keep a spreadsheet with each one you contacted, the dates and the refusal. That way, if a judge asks you why you are not represented, you can whip...

While this point is fresh in my mind... Evidence I have taken into consideration all the evidence before me, as well as the parties submissions even where not specifically mentioned in reaching this decision. The Appellants’ Claim and Submission I note her statement and the ASA as to her position a...

I’ll take sometime to calm down and come back & read later.

I wholeheartedly agree. Maybe you should take the day off. Today was a bit heavy.

If your grounds were that the Home Office's refusal goes against:

- Appendix EU
- Section 55 of the Borders Act
- UN Article 3

I think you may want to consider abandoning the appeal unless you can find a solicitor. Those arguments are super weak, in my opinion.

What were your grounds?
What does your judge think your grounds were?
Are the two things the same?

Your judge is supposed to look at each of your grounds and agree or disagree with each one.
